OpenAI custom GPTs

The Rise of Specialized GPTs in ChatGPT

Ever found yourself chatting with a bot and thinking, “Hmm, this is helpful, but I wish it knew more about, say, underwater basket weaving”? Well, hold onto your hats (or baskets), because the world of conversational AI just got a turbo boost.

The Big Idea: Custom GPTs on Demand

Imagine this: You’re knee-deep in a debate about the best superhero movie or looking for that perfect sourdough recipe. Instead of sifting through endless internet pages, you simply call upon your personalized AI, right in your chat, tailored to your current obsession. Think of it as having a team of expert consultants in your pocket, ready to jump in when you need them.

The GPT Store: A Marketplace of Minds

Enter the GPT Store, like an App Store where developers showcase their creations. Kicking off a bunch of cool, new things and figuring out how to earn from them, from the oddball ideas to the really important ones. Developers can now get a slice of the pie by selling access to their GPTs. The idea? To make our digital conversations richer, more diverse, and tailored to our whims. I’m here for it.

But, There’s a Catch…

Not everything is sunshine and lollipops. Adoption of these custom GPTs is still a drop in the ocean, making up a mere 2.7% of ChatGPT’s global web traffic. And, like a new restaurant facing teething issues, the GPT Store had its share of moderation hiccups, with a few naughty apps sneaking onto the menu. OpenAI’s response? A swift clean-up and a promise of tighter controls. But as the number of GPTs balloons, keeping the digital streets clean is going to be a Herculean task.

So, What’s Next?

This is a glimpse into a future where AI becomes as personalized and diverse as human expertise. Yes, there are hurdles. Yes, it’s a work in progress. But the potential? Limitless.

Here’s a thought: How do we, as a community, shape the future of it? AI’s getting big in our chats. How we use it and tackle its challenges will change not just chatbots, but how we all connect online. So, dive in, explore, and maybe even create a GPT of your own. The future of conversation is calling. Ready to answer?

Looking Forward

The road ahead is dotted with both innovation and challenges. Let’s not just be passive users but active shapers of this technology. After all, the future doesn’t just happen; we build it.

Activision's AI Moderation in Call of Duty Games

Activision’s AI: Game Changer or Big Brother?

AI Steps Into Call of Duty

Okay, here’s the deal: Activision’s trying something new in Call of Duty. They’re using AI to catch toxic chats. Over two million, to be exact. First in North America, now worldwide. Sounds good, right? But it’s not all black and white.

Across the Board

This AI isn’t just in one game. It’s in Modern Warfare II, III, and Warzone, covering English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Asia’s not in the mix yet. The result? Less repeat troublemakers, less nasty stuff in chats.

But Wait, There’s a Catch

Now, here’s the kicker. Not everyone’s cheering. Some gamers think AI might not get the difference between trash talk and real toxicity. Could AI mistakes mean unfair game bans?

Tough Rules and Fair Play

Get this: break the rules, and you’re muted or restricted. But how do we know the AI’s always right? Where’s the line between keeping things cool and over-policing?

Players in the Mix

Activision says player reports matter too. So, it’s partly on us to flag the bad stuff. But should it be our job to police the game? Or should Activision make their AI smarter?

More Languages, More Challenges

They’re planning to add more languages. Great for inclusivity, but tricky for AI. Different languages, different slang – can AI keep up without messing up?
